The Playbook With David Meltzer

A stable routine is always helpful, which is why having a habit machine is essential for those who are trying to maximize efficiency with their time.Your habit machine, which is simply a system to help you build positive habits, will help you to begin adding more value to your daily routine. The first step is a little counterintuitive to some: lower the bar. Tell yourself, "I'm going to do this a minimum of one minute today, two minutes a day tomorrow." Set the bar low, but continually raise it to build momentum, which grows and accelerates when you are consistent and persistent.Tweet me your takeaway from today’s episode @davidmeltzer Email Me! david@dmeltzer.comSign up for my Free Weekly Training https://free.dmeltzer.com/friday-training-1Text Me!

Studying human nature is an essential part of life, as human nature is something that never changes. One of my favorite pieces of literature that discusses this comes from ancient Sanskrit, and it lays out the twelve rules that apply to all of our lives, no matter who you are and where you live. Understanding these rules will help you to identify resistance in your life and then push past it.Sanskrit’s 12 Lessons of Life1. You will receive a body – Part of being human is being born into a human body.2. You will learn lessons – This is an essential part of life. Without learning, we cannot progress.3. There are no mistakes, only lessons – Take the perspective that there are no mistakes, they’re just lessons that we need to absorb and implement.4. A lesson will be repeated until it is learned – If we do not learn a lesson initially, the universe will keep teaching us that lesson.5. Learning lessons does not end – As long as we are alive, lessons will keep coming to us.6. ‘There’ is no better than ‘here’ – Taking a grateful perspective about where you are in life is essential.7. Others are merely mirrors of you – We cannot see outside of us what is not inside of us. Often, we are simply projecting our thoughts about ourself onto others.8. What you make of your life is up to you – Be accountable for the results of your decisions.9. Life is exactly what you think it is – Your perspective is what shapes your reality.10. Your answers lie inside of you – You already have everything you need; you just have to learn to access it.11. You will forget all of this – Nobody is perfect, and we will all forget these lessons at some point in our life.12. You can remember it whenever you want – While we do forget all of these lessons, we also have the capability to remember them.Tweet me your takeaway from today’s episode @davidmeltzer  Email Me! david@dmeltzer.comSign up for my Free Weekly Training https://free.dmeltzer.com/friday-training-1Text Me!

One of the biggest keys for any business leader comes from an understanding of the ego and how it tends to put us on a trajectory in the wrong direction. Ego Edges Goodness Out of your life.Why? The ego has illusionary needs, which can create a waste of your time and energy. The ego also has the need to be right or to be offended. It can cause you to feel a need to be separate, inferior, or superior. Ego can cause fear, guilt, or shame. It will have you searching for recognition for your achievements,instead of simply being happy with what you have achieved. One of our biggest problems comes when we get caught living in this ego-based consciousness and accelerate into the negative emotions we are experiencing.Our ego causes fear, which is followed by fear-based reactions. Those fear-based reactions are what cause us to end up off-track.Tweet me your takeaway from today’s episode @davidmeltzer Email Me! david@dmeltzer.comSign up for my Free Weekly Training https://free.dmeltzer.com/friday-training-1Text Me!
